✤Stagecoach UK Bus
A reminder that vehicles classified as being in the Reserve Fleets with Stagecoach companies are spare vehicles over and above the main allocation. In most cases they are regarded as being part of the Operational Reserve and are available for service. It is not unusual for Reserve Fleet vehicles to be used in service on a regular basis, especially where other buses are off the road for long-term maintenance or repair.
